        "text": "Repairing wood rot typically involves several steps: first, identifying and removing all affected, decaying wood. Next, the area is thoroughly cleaned and treated with a wood hardener or fungicide to prevent further growth. Depending on the extent of the damage, the area may be filled with epoxy wood filler or replaced with new, treated lumber. Finally, the repaired or replaced sections are primed and painted or stained to match the existing structure and protect against future moisture. Understanding the source of the moisture is key to preventing recurrence.",
